Designated, named and lead officer training courses

Develop the essential safeguarding and child protection knowledge you need for your role and responsibilities, and keep up to date with the latest legislation and guidance with our designated and named person training courses.

Whether you’re new in your role or experienced; a designated safeguarding lead (DSL), officer (DSO), person (DSP), child protection lead (DCPL) or named lead in your organisation, we have a course for you.

You can choose to learn in person or via live virtual training sessions, either way you’ll receive direct support and guidance from your our expert trainers.

And, income generated from the sale of our training courses is reinvested back into the NSPCC to help protect children. So you'll not only be supporting the children and young people you work with, you'll be helping children across the UK.
